What sort of wine goes with crow?

You, dear readers, have read on these hallowed pages some very strong condemnations of fundamentalist Christians over the years. And I stand behind 99.9999% of them. But sometimes you see things that in all fairness, you should point out. Particularly after I went on that whole Bible class thing a few weeks back.


Here is an interesting article about some Evangelicals that are starting to see the light about how vulgar the GOP is. While I am certain that these ministers and I don't see eye-to-eye on the majority of issues, their positions on the environment, labor, and economic justice are "spot on". I can even live with their positions on abortion! (focus on reducing pregnancies in the first place rather than beating the same dead horse about abortion. While I am adamantly pro-choice, I think the meat of the issue is sex education and access to contraception.) It's about time that some fundies figure out that the GOP will never kill their cash cow: the "scourge" of legalized abortion.

While I'm certain that these ministers would not be in favor of, say, the colonel and I waltzing off to Las Vegas for a honeymoon, their enlightened stances on other issues, and willingness to look beyond political parties, is pretty refreshing. Because, after all, ruining the planet is the height of vulgarity - even worse than the garishness of excessive corporate profits while people starve.

Maybe there's hope for the Christians yet.
